A Young commercial traveller was
riding on the cars in the vicinity OF
Grand Rapids. There were few peo-
pie riding in the same coach with him
but he noticed a very old lady who
seemed to have passed the allotted
span of life and a younger woman,
tired and travel stained, and accompa-
MED by two peeyish restless little ones
who were never still moment. The
old lady was unattended. and sat by
herself seeming oblivious to all sur
roundings. The mother with her
children occupied double seats. She
looked worn out with fatigue. The
Young man sat comfortably in the
rear of the coach and read or amused
himself with his thoughts
But when an opportunity came TO him
to be of service he improved it.
He closed the window for the old
lady who fecbly thanked him. He
gave the tiresome children some pict-
ure cards TO keep them out of mischief
He told them stories and gave them
innumerable drinks of water from the
tank near by. while their tired mother
caught nap. He divided an orange
among them and prepared another for
the old lady who declared it tasted
cool and pleasant.
Before they reached the station
where the young man was to, leave the
train, and while he was getting his
satchcl down. the old lady beckoned.
him 10 her.
My son." she said in a quavering
voice, II live at Grand Rapids; per-
haps you have heard of meg, I am the
old lady that sent three hundred pin
cushions to the Soldiers Home there.
| am now eighty.three years old and
all do is to make pincushions apd
give them away to deserving people.
Young man have watched you and
here is your pincushion.'
1t was homely little round of
pasteboard, but that young man de-
clares he will never part with it as
long as be lives.

Explosion on a Vessel.

New YORK, Jan. 3l.-At ) o'clock
this afternoon the steamship Guyandotte
sailed from her pier, in this city, for Nor
folk. When off Long Branch an explo-
sion occurred in the after part of the
saloon, by which Capt. Kelly and James
Justine were slightly injured.
The Guyandotte left with a mixed
cargo. though only partly loaded. She
carried five saloon and fifteen steerage
passengers, with a crew of forty-two per-
sons. 1t was discovered that a hole
about fifteen feet square had been caused
by the explosion through the main and
hurricane decks, and much damage had
been done in the saloon and to the outside
Joiner work on the main deck. The cabin
was filed with splinters of timbers. The
vessel was uninjured, but the captain
deemed the vessel in no fit condition to
continue the voyage and he put back.
A stranger was seen hurrying from the
closet where the explosion occurred a few
moments before she sailed. He was
about So years old, 8 feet Q inches high.
He carried a satchel when first seen, but
had none when he left the ship. Kelly
will see no one tonight. No person has
been permitted on board and the pier of
the company is guarded by police.

The great staple product OF California
is wheat, of which about 30. 000, 900 bush
els, worth more than $40, 000,0 900, are
raised in a good year, four-fifths of which
are exported. This wheat is almost
wholly raised on large ranches by con-
tract. The wheat grower is no more a
farmer than he is L miner or a miller. He
lets out his blowing and seeding by the
acre and borrows money from the banks
to pay the bill, giving security on the
growing crop.
In harvest time II contractor comes on
the ground with his harvesters, threshers
and separators, an outfit costing as much

twenty TO twenty-five men, who move
about from place to place, living like
gypsies in the open air. They gather in
the broad fields of grain at the rate OF
more than 1000 bushels per day, and
leave the crop neatly piled up in sacks, to
which the rancher has not put his hand

The Bob Moore is the name of a new
pair of hobs just built for an Albany N.
" coasting club at a cost of 1925. The
bob is twenty-five feet long and has 4
novel steering apparatus. The man in
charge of the wheel at the rear, in case he
wants to stop the bob, can raise the long
seat by one turn of the wheel, and at the
same time throw the rear runners toward
the ground or on their toes, at the same
time causing u large iron claw to scrape the
ground. The steersman can also pull Il
corr by his side and n spring drops a heavy
chain directly underneath the runners of
the rear bob, checking the speed of the bobs
almost instantly in case of an accident,
The seats for the steersman and brakeman
each have plush cushions and nickel plated
backs. A22-inch nickel plated gong bell
is conspicuous at the extreme front Of the
bob. -Detroit Free Press.

BERLIN, Jan. 3l.-A committee Of the
National Liberal party has issued a mani
festo to electors. They say; Never
since the Franco russian war has the
danger OF a great conflict been so near.
No statesman can form any certain con
clusion as to the future, even for a few
weeks. The peace of Europe rests at this
moment solely upon the strength, readi-
ness for action and moral trustwOrthiness
of the German army. The National Lib
erals are confident that the voice of uni
versal suffrage will pronounce a right de-
cision. An %unpropitious issue Of the
elections will bring down upon the coun-
try war with all its %terrors, and even with
the best results, heavy losses"

The Big Strike.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-The great
strike took a new phase to day. 1t not
only involves the additional 'longshore.
men who went out this morning, but also
the freight handlers of the railroads, thus
tightening the blockade on transportation
and adding other thousands to the thou
sands already idle. Apparently by pre-
concerted action committees of freight
handlers OF a number of roads to-day
pres ented formulated demands on the
arrangements, and it it is understood that
similar demands will be made on the man
agements of all roads leading into this
city. Freight handlers of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company employed on the
%conpany's North river piers. to-day noti-
fled the managers that unless the rate of
wages was increased from seventeen to
twenty cents per hour, a general strike
would follow all along the company's
docks. The company was given until to-
morrow neon to consider the demand.
There are about 1000 men employed on
the piers. Demands were also made by
freight handlers employed by the Central
railroad of New Jersey and BY the New
York, Lake Erie K Western for increased
wages, and threatening Immediately to
quit work if their demands were not COM
piled with.
The concessions asked for were refused

Central. 1t was ascertained that a COM
mlttee of five waited upon the receivers
this morning and presented a demand for
increased wages for freight handlers and
other employees, and insisting on an an
swer on or before 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The receivers met them again at that hour
and gave them a written reply, in which
they declined to comply with the de-
mands. The committee took their de-
parture, and Immediately afterward the
freight handlers of the company on pier
IA ven out on strike. Among the de-
mands of the committee was that the coal
strike, as far as the Central railroad of
New Jersey is concerned, would be settled
in twenty-iour hours after presenting this
petition. In the course of its reply the
company says:
We expect to give equal pay to clerks
and others who are employed IN similar
positions, provided they are equally quail
flied to fill these positions, but we cannot
recognize the propriety of paying all alike
without regard to experience or efficiency.
You state that you will not handle any
freight that has been previously handled
by non union men. As receivers of the
company that is common carrier. it is IL
duty to handle any freight presented to
us, whether the same has been previously
handled by non-union men or otherwise,
and re shall do our utmost to perform
this duty. You demand that the coal
strike be settled, as far as our railroad is
concerned, in twenty four hours. This
strike does not exist among our employees.
1t is for others, not for us, to settle.
Several more ocean steamers arrived to-
day. The non-union men are working
better, and there is not so much freight
piled up as on Saturday. In Brooklyn
the strikers are quiet and orderly. Freight
is being moved slowly by Italians and non
union handlers. There is much embar-
rassment to business.
